Risks and caveats
- Quant is a private company; its platforms are run by Quant rather than governed by token holders.
- Fusion keeps transaction data on a permissioned chain, so data availability depends on that network's operators.
- QNT staking is still being rolled out: the documentation chapter is marked as under construction.
